The purpose of caster plating:
The purpose of caster plating is to coat the base material with a metal coating and change the surface properties or dimensions of the base material. Caster plating can enhance the corrosion resistance of the metal (coated metals are mostly corrosion-resistant metals), increase hardness, prevent wear, and improve conductivity. properties, lubricity, heat resistance, and beautiful surface.
The function of caster plating:
A technology that uses electrolysis to deposit metal coatings on mechanical products that adhere well but have different properties and base materials. The caster electroplating layer is more uniform than the hot dip layer and is generally thinner, ranging from a few microns to dozens of microns. Through caster electroplating, decorative, protective and various functional surface layers can be obtained on mechanical products, and workpieces with wear and processing errors can also be repaired. The coating is mostly a single metal or alloy, such as titanium target, zinc, cadmium, gold or brass, bronze, etc.; there are also dispersion layers, such as nickel-silicon carbide, nickel-fluorinated graphite, etc.; and cladding layers, such as on steel copper-nickel-chromium layer, silver-indium layer on steel, etc. In addition to iron-based cast iron, steel and stainless steel, the base materials for caster electroplating also include non-ferrous metals, such as ABS plastic, polypropylene, polysulfone and phenolic plastics. However, plastic casters must undergo special activation and sensitization treatment before electroplating.
